Well, it’s been a long slog to get this gal done, but she is off in the mail to the factory and I can’t be more relieved. For those of you who bought La Brea, I’m particularly pleased with the amount of sculpting improvement I’ve worked towards since that first release, so I hope this one sees just as much success in 2012. :)
Just a little teaser collage…hope to share painted prototype photos soon!
It’s been quite a while since I posted anything to my personal website, so I thought I’d start things off with some fun!
I’m releasing a new cat, a lying down longhair with a big fluffy tail. She’s sculpted with tiny pawpads on her hind feet and a lot of fluff in her ears. Since she’s again based on my cat Hana, I’d prefer not to have a duplicate name in my gallery, so it’s time for…Name That Cat!
Name That Cat! – Use this submission form to send in up to five of your best suggestions for a kitty name! Names can be silly, fun, serious…sky’s the limit! Please only one entry per person. Winning name submitter will receive their choice of one FREE resin cat, any available design! Entry is free, click [HERE] to submit!
In addition, all preorders of the lying longhair cat will be entered into a drawing to receive one free additional cat of their choice. I will draw two winners from all preorders received between today and April 30th, or whenever the first shipment of finished cats has arrived, whichever is sooner. Click [HERE] to preorder your cat(s) today!
I normally don’t post work like this, but I thought I’d share a pic of an intermediate “step” in making my figurines…
…Okay, let’s never do that again. >_<
I’m taking the final photos of a new finished little gal (a baby Shire horse!) and this cat above, which no longer looks quite as…oddly lumpy. Hope folks enjoy them. :) Since they’re cast in the US, I’m expecting them to be available for general purchasing by October or so, but preorders for both are already open in the store. Preorders always help pay for mold-making costs!
Open now for preorders!
This is a cute design by the artist known as “Miu,” of his character Peaches in cute summer wear. Ironically we’re looking at probably a Winter 2010 arrival of this figure due to manufacturing times and all, but hey! What better time for a spot of color and thoughts of summer?
Preorders open, see [LINK]
Thanks to everyone who purchased a La Brea set! I’m overwhelmed by the response and I suspect this means whatever comes down the pipeline next (as far as full-color figures) may need a slightly larger “limited edition” run. Or maybe not?
In immediate upcoming work I’m moving back to the blank resins, with a couple of realistic animals NOT of the feline variety (and one kitty as well, heehee).
A big thank you to everyone I’ve met at the recent conventions, they’ve been fun and I’ve got a LOT of work ahead of me! Ack! Comic-Con is coming up and I’ll have some of my blanks (Cat Dancer, Calla, and the kitties), but sadly no La Breas. Well, hopefully next year there’ll be something new and fun for that convention!
